Pump and tube set thereof
First Claim
1. A tube set comprising:
- a base having a first end portion and a second end portion, said first end portion defining a first tube-receiving aperture therethrough, said second end portion defining a second tube-receiving aperture therethrough, said first and second tube-receiving apertures constructed to slidably receive a length of tube therethrough, said base further defining a first surface constructed to engage at least a portion of a circumference of length of tube disposed in said base between said first end portion and said second end portion of said base, said base constructed for insertion into a tube set receiving portion of a pump; and
a tube slidably disposed on said base, said tube passing through said first and second tube-receiving apertures, at least a portion of said tube constructed to be compressed against said first surface of said base.

Abstract
A pump includes a housing defining a tube receiving portion and a blade mounted for reciprocating movement between first and second positions. In its first position, the leading edge of the blade compresses a length of tube against a first surface disposed in the tube-receiving portion, while in the second position, the blade does not compress the tube. The tube-receiving portion can receive the tube directly or indirectly through a tube set detachably mounted to the housing. The tube set includes a tube and a base having first and second end portions that respectively define first and second tube-receiving apertures for slidably receiving a length of the tube therethrough. The base has a first surface constructed to engage the length of tube between the apertures for compression by the pump blade.
